The Tea Party Is In A World Of Its Own On Global Warming

This article in The Economist shows that members of the Tea Party are more convinced that global warming is not real than any other group. They are also more certain that they are well informed about the topic and that they do not require any more information to hold to their opinion. In other words, the Tea Partier's operate on faith. They have been told what to believe, and it is not necessary to confuse them with information. They live in world where strong beliefs about most subjects make them incurious about the world that they live in. They certainly are not "sickled over by thought" like Shakespeare's Hamlet
